I will be exhibiting at the Northwest Audio Show 24-25 June 2017, at Cranage Hall. See http://audioshow.co.uk for details of the show.

The organisers are creating a 'Vinyl Village' and that is where I will most likely be set up with a small stand, showcasing the following:

  • Miyajima Cartridges, both stereo and mono, plus Miyajima SUTs
  • Reed tonearms - I hope to have the 12" Reed 3P ready for the show
  • Ammonite Audio Improved Jelco tonearm collars and spacers
  • SMARTractor alignment tool - your chance to get hands and eyes on this great aid to turntable setup
  • Townshend Audio Seismic Platforms and Pods - hear for yourself just what these can do for a turntable


I will have my venerable Kenwood KD-990 and Thorens TD-124 turntables on hand so that visitors can hear Miyajima stereo and mono cartridges through a high quality headphone rig.

I will of course be offering some good deals over the weekend.

Depending on progress with the CAD designs, I may also have production prototype examples of a new range of modular and very pretty machined alloy armboards for Technics SL-1200 turntables, both old and new. I have just ordered a silver SL-1200GR to serve as a static demonstrator for these armboards.
